Geneva, 31.01.2024—Taurus SA today announces it has joined the ERC3643 Association. This move establishes Taurus as one of the first digital asset custody and tokenization infrastructure providers to join the association, marking a significant step in the advancement of smart contract standardization, and reinforcing Taurus commitment to offer a smart contract agnostic solution to banking clients.
The ERC3643 protocol is an open-source suite of smart contracts, enabling the issuance, management, and transfer of permissioned tokens. Over the past five years, it has set an industry standard for tokenization on various Ethereum-compatible blockchains, whether public or private, compatible with any ERC20 wallet, and has been actively utilized on networks like Ethereum, Polygon, and Avalanche.
The ERC3643 Association represents a joint effort among key industry players, aiming to foster the global adoption of the ERC-3643 token standard. This initiative focuses on the tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA), aiming to eliminate silos and ensure interoperability across different platforms and systems.
“Taurus’ decision to join the ERC3643 Association is a strategic move that aligns with our core belief that smart contract standardization is crucial to accelerate the adoption of RWA tokenization," said Jürgen Hofbauer, Global Head of Strategic Partnerships at Taurus. "Our commitment to being smart contract agnostic makes this partnership a natural fit, enhancing our ability to deliver industry-leading solutions to our clients."
By supporting an open architecture, Taurus offers its clients the flexibility to select the most efficient technology for their needs without compatibility limitations, while also ensuring that their investments are future-proof and adaptable to emerging standards.
Dennis O'Connell, President of the ERC3643 Association, commented: "We are excited to welcome Taurus into our association. Their comprehensive expertise in digital asset infrastructure and strong regulatory compliance makes them an ideal partner to drive forward the ERC-3643 standard.”
